Hi all,
I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop that I have been using trouble free for almost two years. I dont take it around much and have been using it around my apartment where I have a wi-fi setup (typical Netvigator installation; 8Mbps ADSL broadband connection, with a Buffalo Wireless router that I have setup and have been using for 3+ years). Regularly I have been getting the the listed speeds on my laptop as is listed possible with the built-in wifi (802.11b/g supported) with 54Mbps.
Lately though, my connection seems to have slowed to a crawl. I check the wifi connections and I only seem to receive 1Mbps or 5Mbps at the best. I have tried to re-adjust wifi settings on my laptop and also resetting my router (cant do much with the modem as it is PCCW provided), but the problem keeps re-appearing. Inputting the settings and changing WEP passwords I've also tried, but to no avail. Even used another router I had borrowed, still the same. Router gives a strong, full signal, but somehow the speeds I'm getting are only a fraction.
Any ideas on what the problem could be? with my notebook or the connection? Much appreciated!
